Home Complete
Exposition to
Close Tonight
Indianapolis so Have Last
Look at Wonder Show
at Fairground.
BY NORA KAY.
The closing day of the Home Com
(ploie Exposition offers to ‘parents and
Iriends of the June brides-to-be, as well
as homemakers who seek new pieces
to add a modern touch to plready es
tablished homes, a field rich! in sugges
tions.
On that should appeal to the fond
father of the bride Is a gorgeous Chi
nese rug in blue and gold, part of an
exhibit of wonderful period furniture. !
For those whose purse cannot be
stretched to cover a gift such as this,
there are some artistic pieces In skill
fully wrought iron work bird cage
stands, fire screen and lamp pedestals,
which are beautiful examples of the
craft.
Art exhibits are featured by the Wom
an's Department Club as well as several
of the art stores and one may choose
from original oil paintings or artistically
framed prints. For unframed pictures,
one booth is showing a varied coleotion of
frames large and small and French mir
rors are displayed that would delight any
home maker.
EIEfTRIfM, GIFTS
ALWAYS ACCEPTABLE.
Electric percolators and lamps are al
ways welcome and both may be found
along the row specializing In electrical
displays. Here also are cunning electric
grills. Just large enough to cook break
fast for two, while for the bride who/has
learned how to imitate mother's pies,
there Is a clever electric cooker which, the
demonstrator asserts, will do nway with
all one's gag bills—‘‘and give* us electric
ity bills, instead.” remarked one of the
bystanders to his assistant in the prob
lem of meeting the bills on friendly
terms.
Asa bait to tempt passersby. the cook
ing demonstrators have passed ont som
ple*t of delicious pics, golden brown
rbops and fat. Juicy baked apples and
the already-too-fat attendants at the
uearby exhibits suffer unspeakable pangs
as they catch the odors of the freshly
cooked food which they can admire on'y
from a distance.
Even Jiggs. with his corned beef and
cabbage tastes would find a few gifts
which he would consider ideal for Mag
pie's friends. The very gold fish or their
sisters or cousins or aunts, which he se
lected for a golden wedding anniversary
gift for his wife's exclusive acquaint
ances, are there at the Home Complete
Exhibit, to prove that no home is com
plete without, a gold fish or two. Tne
gold fish are “made-in-Indianapolis'*
products, too, for their “keeper" said
that they are propagated as a sideline
at the State fish hatcheries, where they
may be bought in dozen lots at whole
sale prices from their "grower."
GREEN FROGS
MAKE GOOD PETS.
Included in the fish exhibit are a col
lection of the quietest, most solemn look
ing green frogs any one could wish for
family pets. They were even quieter
than the gold fish. One particular frog
balanced himself on his hind lees with
his front ons gracefully outstretched In
the water and remained thus for fully
fifteen minutes until visitors finally
stirred him into action by their cdsy
demonstrations. .
After proving what docile pets the
green frogs would make, the attendant
announced they were not for sale but
would be used to fatten the fish at the
hatchery. No wonder the poor frog*
looked serious.
All the fish congregation seemed to
hn,-e a gloomy view of life. There was a
big black German carp with a mustache
'be one “Snub” Pollard wears—very
•trooping at the ends—and a fat eel that
"noted peevish when the bystanders
•'lied him a “horrid thing."
To go baek to Jiggs’ presents, bnw
=oer. his practical mind would have beer,
blighted with the gorgeous and durable
display of flowers created entirely out of
plebian chicken feathers.
Feathers and fish, furniture, building
materials and washing machines will all
fade Into Insignificance tonight, when
thousands of persons will gather at the
exhibit to receive their share of the
awards that are to be presented to lucky
contestants.
Interest in the winner of the complete
house and lot, which Is to be awarded
to night as a reward for expressing the
five best reasons why one should own a
home In Indianapolis, Is closely followed
by anxiety to know who gets the S3O
for making the most accurate guess as
to the value of conn house square as
well as who has made the closest guess
as to the attendance at the exposition this
wool?.
Then there Is the award of the nearest ]
correct guess as to the number of
people who passed “real estate row” last
Saturday, and the garage to be given 1
away and a lamp and a percolator set !
and a washing machine, all of which will
be awarded at thla evening’s show. It
Is a case of "the circus Is over, but every
one will want to remain for the grand
concert.”

The ADVENTURES of
lUrt Raggedy Raggedy
Mat. Ann and Andy
By JOHNNY GRUBLLE cV
“Oh, dear! Now Just look" at that,
will you!” exclaimed Raggedy Andy as
he twisted big head away around aud
looked at the aeat of his nice pretty blue
trousers. “A great big hole where I tore
it on that sharp stick.
“Oh, my!” Raggedy Ann sympathized.
“It Is quite a large one, and we have
n< needle or thread with which to mend
it.”
“Does it show milch. Raggedy Ann?”
Andy asked, much concerned. “Well,
quite a lot.” Raggedy Ann laughed. "I
can see your rag leg through the hole.”
“I can feel the wind whistle In tt Just
like an open door.’’ Raggedy Andy had
to laugh. “Well, one thing sure. It meaua
good luck. For, see, Ann, the hole Is let
ter L."
“Sure enough,” Raggedy Ann replied.
“It Is an L and that stands for luck.”
“Maybe we'll find a pocketboo-k filled with
golden pinnies that doesn't belong to any
one,” Raggedy Andy said.
“Let's walk along and look real close,
maybe v.e will," suggested Raggedy Ann.
So with an arm over each other's shoul
der the two rag dolls walked throug the
—miv *ur
meadow with their heads bent over and T
their shot button eyes looking closely at
every step they took.
“Look out! Look out!" called a voice!
just ahead of them which startled the i
two friends so they almost fell over
backward. There a short distance ahead
of them they saw Sophia Spider, she was
om on her front porch waving her broom, *
“I was afraid you might bump your
heads into my house!" she said.
“It wouldn't hurt us if we did!" siiid i
Raggedy Andy “For our heads are made i
of cioth and stuffed with nice soft while
cotton!” “And our smiles are painted
on !" Raggedy Ann ndded. j
“Well, well!" laughed Sophia Spider as !
she leaned upon her broom. “Maybe it \
wouldn't hurt your heads, but land Bakes :
it would break iny little house to pieces, j
that's sure!”
Aunt Sophia Spider’s little house was :
built near the top of an iron weed and I
she told the two Raggedy, “it is very ;
nice up here when the wind blows, for
my little house sways gently hack and
forth and It almost makes me sleepy!” <
“It must be lovely!" said Raggedy Ann. i
"Oh yes It is very nice!” Aunt Sophia i
Spider laughed, ‘lf you were not so ;
Large, I would ask you to come up and
have a cup of tea, with me!”
“I wish that we could!" the Two Rag j
gedys replied. \
“We were hunting for a pocket hook
filled with golden pennies! Raggedy
Andy tore his nice blue trousers on a
sharp stick and It tore and L and that
means good luck! That's why wc were
looking for a pocket book that didn't
belong to anybody!"
“Is It a very large tear?" Aunt Sophia !
Spider wanted to know as she put on
her spectacles. “Turn around. Andy, bo
Aunt Sophia Spider can see." Raggedy
Ann suggested. Andy turned around,
but Aunt Sophia Spider was so near
sighted she could not see. so she pulled
a tiny silken cord and slid down In her
spider elevator until she hung right near
the large tear.
"Dear me suz!" she exclaimed. “Ton
poor child! And you haven’t any mam
ma to sew It np for you?" The two Rag
g'-Iys laughed at this, anil Andy said:
“Neither of us have mammas, unless you
wish to call the lady who made us out
of nice white cloth and cotton fifty years
ago our mothers!"
“I guess I'm Raggedy Andy’s mother;
when we are at home,” Ann laughed. |
“And he Is my Daddy then, too, for we
often sew up the rips In each other's
arms and legs!" “Yes,” Andy agreed,
“Raggedy Ann often has to sew on my
legs, for I tumble about so much every
once In • while I tear ont all the stitches
and by legs fall right off.” “Doesn’t It
hurt at all?" Aunt Sophia Spider asked,
hardly able to believe Andy's story.
“Not one little teeny weenlest smidgeon,”
Raggedy andv laughed. “Nothing hurts

us unless It is something we have done
to hurt another person or creature.”
“Oh, of course that is different," Aunt
Sophia Spider agreed; “when we do any
thing which makes another feel badly,
that always hurts us Inside!"
“Raggedy Ann has a candy heart,"
said Raggedy Andy, wishing to have
Aunt Sopria Spider know how lovely Ann
really was.
“That Is nice, I tell you," Aunt Sophia
Spider said, “and because I believe that
you are a real good rag doll boy, I’m
going to run up and get my spinning
wheel and spin a flno cloth right over
the hole In your trousers.”
It only took Aunt Sophia Spider a mo
ment to run her little elevator up to
her tiny house and down again wjth her
spinning wheel. “Whir! Whlrrrrrrrrr!
Whlckity-whir 1" went the wheel and
soon Raggedy Andy's trousers did not
show the place where he had torn them.
“Thank yon, very, very much," Rag
degy Andy said. “Maybe sometime I
can help you some way." “Just pass it
along to someone else." Aunt Sophia
Spider laughed as she told them good
by. “And I will have the pleasure of
knowing that If I have made you happy
then you can make someone else happy
by doing something for them. And so
we start an endless chain of happiness."

Takes Talk to Sell Used Locomotive
Barber Admits Success of His Rival
Augustus N. Vosburg, salesman of sec
ond-hand railroad locomotives, held to
the Federal grand Jury on a charge of
impersonating a Government officer, by
Charles W. Moores, United Stub's com
missioner, today proved himself so con
vincing a talker that a railroac equip
ment concern expressed a willingness to
employ him if he can obtain the $5,000
bond necessary to get him out of Jail.
According to evidence at the hearing,
Vosburg talked Harry Plunkett, pro
prietor of two barber shops, out of $475
in cash and additional automobile ex
penses, and that he had convinced
Plunkett the latter had appointed a
United States secret service operator,
at n salary of “about SO,OOO a year,” al
though Plunkett never was sworn in.
So thoroughly convinced was Plunkett
that when Vosburg called him up by
telephone one midnight and told him that,
a secret service man had turned over an
automobile near Noblesvllle and that he
• Plunkett) was to go after him, Plunkett
“cranked up” his automobile and spent
the greater part of the night scouring
the country north of the city in a "wild
goose chase” for the fictitious wreck.
According to Plunkett's story. Vosburg
represented himself as a secret service
operative at a salary of $7,000 a year. He
said the Government was holding up his
pay check for about SI,OOO, and he in
duced Plunkett to Indorse a note for
$l5O for him.
Plunkett said Vosburg later borrowed
“considerable money” from him. He tes
tified that Vosburg took him to the Fed
eral building and Introduced him to nu
merous Federal officials and pretended to
be on Intimate terms with them.
On one occasion Plunkett said Vosburg
took him to the headquarters of Sen
ator Harry 8. New. where Vosburg had
a conversation with the Senator. After
